Chapter 11, Problem 25E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Each of the given conversion is to be performed.

Concept Introduction: The simplest unit to measure pressure is atmospheres $\left(\text{atm}\right)$. The SI unit of pressure is Pascal $\left(\text{Pa}\right)$. Third unit to measure pressure is millimeters of mercury $\left(\text{mm Hg}\right)$.

Relation between $\text{atm}$ and $\text{torr}$ is:

$1\text{ atm}=760\text{ torr}$

Relation between $\text{atm}$ and $\text{mm Hg}$ is:

$1\text{ atm}=760\text{ mm Hg}$

Relation between $\text{psi}$ and $\text{mm Hg}$ is:

$1\text{ psi}=51.715\text{ mm Hg}$

Relation between in. Hg and $\text{torr}$ is:

$1\text{ in}\text{. Hg}=25.4\text{ torr}$
